I’m happy to announce I’m running for re-election for District 88 State Represen- tative. It has been an honor to serve my constituents and all Kansans!

We’ve made a lot of progress in the past couple of terms, but there’s more to do to improve the quality of life in Kansas. I’m looking forward to visiting with you to hear your concerns and what’s important to you.

Kansas is bringing down unnecessary barriers and supporting our nurses.

House Republicans passed major reforms to the Board of Nursing, ending overly punitive discipline for non-clinical issues, improving license renewal, and creating clearer, more consistent standards.

At a time when Kansas needs more nurses, this law ensures we are not pushing qualified professionals out over paperwork or overly complicated processes.

I had the privilege to visit Israel last November during Thanksgiving week with 21 other members of the National Association of Christian Lawmakers. We saw Israel from the Jewish perspective and experienced the roots of Christianity. I had the opportunity to see where Jesus walked, where he spent his last Passover, where he prayed before his arrest, where he carried his cross, where he was crucified and buried. Today He is Risen, indeed!
Easter blessings to you and yours and may you experience the peace and joy of knowing Jesus, our Lord and Savior!

HB 2528 passed in the Kansas Senate, 34 to 6 late on March 19th! Thank you to Senator Gossage for carrying the bill and providing accurate information about the bill to her Senate colleagues. Next steps include a conference committee composed of the chair, vice chair and ranking minority member of the House Health & Human Services Committee and the Senate Public Health & Welfare Committee to compromise on amendments to the bill made in each chamber. Then on to the Governor by March 25th. The Governor will have 10 days to sign the bill into law, do nothing and it will become law or veto the bill, requiring the House and the Senate to vote to overturn the veto with a 2/3 majority vote in each chamber.
Thank you to everyone for your help,encourage-
ment and prayers during this long process! Please continue until HB 2528 is across the finish line!! 🌻

I have been heartbroken to hear so many horror stories from Kansas nurses who have needlessly been punished by the Kansas State Board of Nursing (KSBN) for minor infractions such as clerical or technical glitches during the re-licensure process. We so desperately need good experienced nurses to care for Kansans! I have been blessed with the opportunity to represent my fellow nurses and to work with an awesome team to develop a bill (HB 2528) to right the wrongs nurses have experienced from KSBN. The bill addresses many concerns, protects nurses from retaliation and unwarranted permanent placement on databases. We made it past a big hurdle this week when the House passed HB 2528. The next step is getting it passed in the Senate and then to the Governor. This bill will not only help KSBN protect the public, but also ensure competent nurses are available to serve Kansans. It’s my honor to represent Kansas nurses in the legislature! 🌻
